I have also been interviewed by the local paper and the article should be coming out this month. Just to put this in perspective- this is the FIRST time in 16 years that the media has shown any interest in us.

I want to thank you, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Klugiewicz for all you guys are doing to help
the children as well as adults.

Awesome, awesome program!

I was first introduced to Verbal Judo by Chan Lee after he took the week long training program. I was very impressed with the program’s emphasis on providing kids with a non violent way to help deal with bullies.

This is important, because the local schools in my district have a zero tolerance for fighting. Unfortunately, most parents don’t know how to help their child, so they just tell them to fight back. This often leads to suspension for both the bully and the victim.

I had been trying for a year, unsuccessfully, to get in to my local schools. As soon as I starting mentioning Verbal Judo as part of my anti-bully presentation, all of a sudden doors opened for me.

I have been invited to present my anti-bully workshops to several of the local schools, and I am now teaching an after school karate program in three of the schools in my district and I hope to add two more for the next school year.

I really believe that Verbal Judo has helped me establish more credibility in the community and let’s people know that I am serious about teaching children how to deal with bullies effectively, without breaking any rules at school.

Lastly, I also incorporated Verbal Judo into my school’s karate curriculum. Dr. Thompson has had huge success training the police and working with adults, using Verbal Judo tactics, so I wanted to make it available to to all my students using most of the materials provided by this program.

The feedback from my students and their parents has been very positive and I believe it will positively impact my student retention.

Thank you Mr.Lee and Dr.Thompson for developing such a unique and much needed program.

The car chats make total sense for busy parents driving kids here and there. What a master stroke!

Well done master Chan Lee, I look forward to future involvement with you and your team.

“My students enjoy the process of learning Verbal Judo — that’s one of the best parts of the program.”

The students struggled with the program in the beginning just as they did with my physical program. After a couple of months, they began to understand and use the verbal techniques to deescalate aggressive energy.

I would highly recommend this program!

I was able to maintain my cool and set a positive example and some of my students were able to see what I did and were very appreciative of how professional I was at the time. They were in shock about how poorly the other instructor dealt with the situation.

When I heard of Master Chan Lee’s program of verbal judo for martial artists, I was very interested and purchased the program. I have started using it for my martial arts leadership team and it has been great! The parents also like the fact that these very essential communication skills are being taught to their children.

This program is a great asset to the martial arts community and I can attest to the value and usefulness of this program not just in law enforcement and martial arts, but in all of life! Thank you Master Chan and Professor Thompson!

The parents love it.

More importantly, the kids are using it to defend themselves from bullying. We are having a lot of fun working on Verbal Judo during class. Parents really appreciate the “Car Talks”. Car Talks give them the script they need to talk with their kids. This Verbal Judo
curriculum is helping me to achieve my goal of changing my world and making it a better place. Thank you for creating this product.

This program will add more value to the life skills and character development that we already offer. It will keep our school at the forefront for child development. Thank you Master Lee and Verbal Judo.

By becoming a “Communication Samurai” you will learn how to safely de-escalate potentially violent situations and encounters. This is an awesome program and I highly recommend it. It is truly the “Way of the Peaceful Warrior.”

The only thing I’m disturbed about is why it’s taken us so long to find and implement it! Let’s arm every child with Verbal Judo, to discourage bullying and to teach young people how to effectively and non-violently deal with conflict.

Let’s arm young women with Verbal Judo self-defense skills. Let’s make sure our teenage boys use Verbal Judo, rather than their fists, to solve their problems. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure married couples get some Verbal Judo too (may I have two orders, please?), as the work is just as useful in the kitchen as on the street.

I like Verbal judo. It’s a smart thing to learn and implement in your life, in your school, and in your community.

Verbal Judo? Say “YES.”

Giving us the ability to teach and role play with our students the skills needed to recognize and respond to Bullying from every angle, and long before the bully could get a foot-hold on our kids confidence and destroy it. Verbal Judo is the part of self defense we were not taught, and needed the most.

We appreciate having access to all of the lessons. Being able to easily review past lessons is definitely helpful.

Thank you for making this program available to us!
